That's indeed an option, however, I also find it inconvenient and inconsistent that the
slot<n>@ construct does not work with single slot PCs. I believe it would be much
better to change this.
Actually, it is already there: single slot PCs have a slotID of 1.
It's then only a matter of allowing this in the hostname construct.

Yes, I know that and I already have used it.
It kept me happy for a while, until I wanted to use the "-direct hostname" with
condor_status. This requires the hostname; you can't 'escape' with constraints.

Actually that's how I discovered the buggy-ish hostname resolution in condor_status.
